This is my first message, I am a new member. My puppy Zack is boxer number 5, but all my others have past on
I took my puppy Zack to the vet at two months old for a small lump on his left shoulder. The vet assistant shaved the hair around the area of the small bump. The vet looked at it and said that it is possible that this is the area where the breeder was giving the puppy shots. He told me that it could be a possible reaction to the medicine under the skin. He then gave me some cream to pass on the area twice a day until further notice to see if it goes away. Well one month later the lump is still there and now I have another problem, the hair that they shaved did not grow back. I brought Zack back to the Vet for his last set of puppy shots and again they do not know what the lump is nor do they know why the hair is not growing back. My little boy looks really bad with a large patch of missing fur. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Michael
